I want to pass the Html.Textbox value to a controller from anchor tag, so that I can search the value passed to a controller. Please tell me how can I achieve this.
<a href="@Url.Action("Index", "Home", new { })">@p</a>
public ActionResult Index(string String)
{
}
@Html.TextBox("String")
use jquery
@Html.TextBox("String", null, new { @class="txtString" })
<a href="@Url.Action("Index", "Home", new { })" class="linkAction">@p</a>
then in your script
$('.txtString').on('blur', function(){
$('.linkAction').attr('src', '@Url.Action("Index", "Home", new { text = "----" })'.replace("----", $('.txtString').val()));
});
You don't have to use jQuery. If you're doing a HttpPost, you just need the "name" of the textbox.
On your page:
@using (Html.BeginForm("Index", FormMethod.Post)) {
@Html.TextBox(string.Empty, new { name = "textbox" })
<input type="submit">Submit</input>
}
Then in your controller:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(string textbox) {
// The name of the string parameter must match the name given to the TextBox element on the page.
}
@using (Html.BeginForm("Index", "Home", null, FormMethod.Post, new {@id = "my-form"}))
{
@Html.TextBox("String")
}
<a href="javascript:document.getElementById('my-form').submit();>@p</a>
You can use FormMethod.Post or FormMethod.Get. The latter will append ?String= to the url.
